JOANA FIGUERES, ENCOUNTERS

Private View: Thursday 13th of November from 7pm
Dates: 13th of November to 5th of December 2008

The creative root of this Catalan artist, known already for many, comes to her given by the show business, having worked in theater and television, and always parallelly with the painting, finally she tended to this last. Hers are materic works, rich and elaborated, shows us an exquisite combination of colors, not so living as at the beginning but more reflexive, and mixed with one searched and always present texture, which she combines harmonically with the detail, with the drawing insinuated, with the subtle incision. They contribute undoubtedly the studies and the experimentation continued with the drawing, that sometimes turn up with a point of oneiric or surreal, sometimes with reminiscences of Klee or Ponç. Behind all this there is a will of expression without conditions nor approaches, undoubtedly, a priori, without strategies, Joana Figueres does not search the transcendence, but is more visceral, she searches an aesthetic communication. It is a burst of creation that is guided by the instinct, by the authentic feeling of the artist, by the desire to find her own way that it is not the result of any aesthetic prejudice.

JORDI GUILLÉN, THE FIRST JOURNEY

Dates: 9th of October to 7th of November 2008

The paintings of Jordi Guillén (Igualada, 1970) transmit us sensations of calm and harmony, they invite us to a personal reflection, stimulating the viewer to get lost in his own interior world, while having a walk, in a certain way melancholic, towards oneiric, very personal spaces and with a clear organic and natural reminiscence.

His paintings transport us to imaginary moments, they make us think of the human being like part of the nature, so at physical level as well as spiritual, they speak to us about palpitations, liberation, dreams, natural energies, invisible forces that surround us..., in short of this intimate and personal dialog that the artist has in relation to each circumstance of his life. With this so intimate and personal work the author speaks about some interior landscapes that attempt to establish a deep dialog between him and his creations, making at the same time participant of this dialog the viewer opening him a path that will drive him to poetic and sensitive horizons.

JULY 2008

JORDI TORTOSA, OFF FILMING

Dates: from 3rd to 31st of July 2008

This summer Jordi Tortosa, plastic artist born in Sant Cugat del Vallès in 1959, presents a selection of his oil paintings. Tortosa proposes us a new project, related with one of his fascinations: The cinema. But he makes it in a way different to what perhaps we are accustomed. Tortosa discovers, under the sequence and under the basic goal of the film, the plastic force that there is on the basis of the communication. Jordi Tortosa's reflexion is about the instant, almost as a contrast of the sequence.

Tortosa has not aimed for a conceptual work (easy resource to avoid some of the many technical difficulties) but eminently plastic and expressionist. He is not completely faithful to the model and he appeals to the freedom of the artist to modify what he believes necessary. Thus, in some cases, he repositions the scene in other stages (generally Cadaqués) or he adds or takes out elements.

LUIS IGNACIO CARÍAS

teresarius: promotors d'art has the pleasure of presenting the artwork of this multidisciplinary artist of Venezuelan origin that he lives in Catalonia since year 2000. It will be the first time that we will be able to appreciate together the painting, sculpture and drawing of Carías, as well as be able to listen his music, since besides versatile artist and graphic designer, he has just recorded his first record of own compositions in the World fusión gender in the study Mas Silvestre of Martin Probst in Gaüses, Girona.

It must be said that from 1988 Luis Ignacio Carías has not stopped making individual and collective exhibitions and since he was 16 years old he has been working with musicians of every kind for America of the south and Europe.

As affirmed Myriam Robles, Director of the Museum Sacro of Caracas, Luis Ignacio Carías expresses into his work elementary realities that he himself works without previous outlines in a process within, without hesitations, with a great certainty, leaving sideways the academic knowledge for guiding himself by the intuition in search of a lyrical minimalism loaded of spirituality. The absence of the color in some cases, the presence of textures, the fabric, are the constitutive elements of a similar plastic language in big figures of the contemporary art.

The work of Luis Ignacio Carías is an invitation to enjoy the beauty of the plundered and to attempt to appeal and to experiment our own territory of freedoms.

PAQUITA VILADRICH

This autumn the painter Paquita Viladrich, born in El Poal, presents us her artwork in a double exhibition in the neighborhood of El Farró in Sant Gervasi, Barcelona. In La Coqueria of the Zaragoza street we will be able to appreciate until the 3rd of December her small sized artwork, oils and engravings, of varied subject matter and in the Espai Cultural Francolí, venue of teresarius: promotors d'art, we will enjoy a selection of work of medium and great format.

The work of the Paquita is personal, with a stressed sense of the luminousity. The reality is the basis about the one that she structures her paintings based in reality and developes her sense of color to create an own world that transpires naturalness and leaves imprint of her pictorial sensitivity. The result is a beatiful painting, rich in details, lavish in tones, where the drawing, omnipresent because of its quality, it holds the structure of her artwork.

The espectator likes the work of Viladrich-Giné for all of this and for the fact that she transforms objects of the daily rutine in poetry, she paints them and fills in them with magic until exalts them to convert them into Art in upper case.

This affection goes through the fabric and surrounds us. Her exhibitions, like her, make us feel like 'at home'. Where everything is known, calm, on the measure, used up by the use and the time... And however, where we wish to go back after a long day. Everything on her work, well carried out, settles about the global harmony, on the serene games of shadows and lights. In her artwork it rules the equilibrium, the serenity and the creative sensitivity, attaining an intensely pictorial resolution.

JOSEP GUIXÀ : MAGIC AND DOORS

teresarius: promotors d'art in collaboration with the curator Marcenia Baqués they organize in the Espai Cultural Francolí of Barcelona an exhibition of the one recognized Catalan artist Josep Guixà.

In few years several individual exhibitions of the Catalan artist Josep Guixà have been presented, teacher of teachers as for structures and materials is related. Not in vain all his experience in the professional field of the construction has alternated a plasticity and originality exceptional with a ferrous discipline in the research and creation of textures, consistencies, strokes, colors, spaces and supports, that they have brought, to his artistic creation. His dense and long trajectory in this wonderful spiritual profession has cost him recognition of critics and public.

About his "constructions", as Arnau Puig pointed out about the series dedicated to Gaudí, Guixà returns us the magnificent work of the architect through some complex materics skillfully constructed, with strong texture and brightness, which do not attempt to copy to Gaudí but to make it for us feel in other dimensions. "With Gaudí, he surprised us with details of the Pedrera and of the Park Güell, of the Holy Family and of the Batlló House. Details that thanks to his magician palette has been able to entertain as research and homage, without intending to appropriate a total reality that goes beyond it. From here his particularity.

Being with this line of the detail, Guixà presents us on this occasion a subject that he has been using for a while: a luck of façades, doors, balconies, windows, some framed, in his own rural landscapes, the fundamental characteristics of which they are this materic voluptuousness and consistent of what we spoke formerly. Intense reality, sometimes discolored and demolished almost mysterious and lugubrious in other, where the step of the time can be touched with the breath and the look. Then the reality evokes ours old constructions, those of formerly, those of the village, those of the old house or street, even the ones of the soul... Those that are perpetuated as witness dumb persons of the transformations of our existence. Entries or exits (as they see themselves), that sit-ins always hide "events" intimate, particular, personal, holy. Each one of these impossible "openings", contains the magic of the unknown. Guixà achieves it. We invite you to "snooping" among his dense cracks.
